are 18 courses on a wide variety of linguistic topics taught by researchers from all over the world, ranging from introductions to a particular subfield to highly specialized courses. The course list include a course on doing linguisitic research using treebank
corpora by Gertjan van Noord, and a course on doing linguistic research using the CLARIN-infrastructure by Jan Odijk and others. In addition, there are 2 Research Discussion Groups in which the focus will be on the students’ own work. The schedule of courses
and their teachers can be found on our website: </span><a href="http://www.lotschool.nl/files/schools/2015_Winterschool_Amsterdam_UvA/" style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;">http://www.lotschool.nl/files/schools/2015_Winterschool_Amsterdam_UvA/</span></a><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">.

courses are open to PhD students and second year Research Master students who are affiliated with one of the LOT institutes, and also to PhD students and postdocs from other research institutes in the world. Participants are encouraged to present their work
